Not ME!  You know I brag evertime my engine actually starts so you would have 
been the first people I told!
 
But this is a question Rick and I often wonder about and I forget to ask (or 
John tells me and I forget from season to season!).  Is it engines off at the 
first horn (10:50) or engines off 10 minutes before the first horn (10:40)?

Fellow Racers,

There was some question on the Anam Cara as to the 10 minute engine rule.
It was our crew's understanding that the rule within the club is "engines
off" 10 minutes prior to the first horn. Based on radio traffic, there
seemed to be a bit of confusion.  I know the Recovery was at the start line
with us at 10:40.  There is no question that we are in a club with fair and
honest sailors.  If any of the racers listed below had your engines on after
10:50, I know you will withdraw yourself from the race.  

I hope we can clear up the confusion before the official scores are made.  

In kindest regards,
Anam Cara Crew

Unofficial results of race 1 are on the website.

Rebecca J 1, Recovery 2, Anam Cara 3, Alexis 4, Windrus 5, So Yankee 6,
Odyssey DNF.

After drifting over the starting line, and wondering if I'd be lynched,
after about half an hour, the wind filled in and we had a decent race.
I
hope you all took time to notice the dolphins playing along the Rescue
shoreline, and the ominous waterspout that popped up over Fort Eustice
as we
were finishing.

Hope you all have a great Labor Day weekend,  we're going saiing on the
Rapahannok (or however you spell it).

See ya week after.

John
